Friend's 2-year-old Yorkie blind - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I would suggest a visit to the neuro as well. Georgie started walking funny and wobbly and he was diagnosed with AAI. It almost looked like he was blind because he would run into things and fall over.

Amazing news. The Yorkie regained its vision!

I'm not real intuned to all that's been done, or why, because this is more of a friend of a friend, but my understanding is the vet found a liver issue and suspects something hormonal as well. The female is intact. But cordisone treatment worked, and the dog regained its vision. Her owner is ecstatic and says the pup is overjoyed and playing with its sibling just like before.

I imagine those with more knowledge of these issues will have more questions than I can answer, but I wanted to pass on what I've heard second-hand. I'll let you know if I can find a more precise diagnosis and treatment.

Thanks for your advice and kind words. I passed it all on.
